PII & Residency Guard
Sensitive data crossing a boundary. Enforces residency and read-only scope.
A query would read a column classified as personal data, or would move data across a residency boundary your policy set forbids.
Query blocked at the policy layer with the rule cited; decision streamed to your SIEM; exception request routed to the data owner.
Every write is gated on an approver role you name. Nothing runs unattended.
- Classify columns against your own data catalogue, and treat anything unclassified on a customer table as sensitive by default.
- Evaluate the query against the Cedar policy set before execution, not after, because an after-the-fact log is not a control.
- Block the crossing and return the reason with the specific policy rule, so the requester can fix it or challenge it.
- Stream the decision, allowed or denied, to your SIEM with the full query context.
- Close on the periodic review, when the policy set is confirmed to still match your obligations.
Boundary crossings blocked, exception turnaround time, and audit coverage of every read against classified data.
The case closes on this number, not on the action being taken. A playbook without a close condition is a dashboard.
